The Ancestor's Tale byRichard
Dawkins
Quote's: "As things stand, it appears that all life forms can be traced to a
single ancestor which
lived more than 3 billion years ago."
"It is worth remembering this when creationists go on (as they tediously
do) about 'gaps' in the fossil record.
The fossil record could be one big gap, and the evidence for evolution would
still be overwhelmingly strong."
"The bottom line is that we can tell when an animal or plant died by
measuring the ratio of carbon 14 to carbon 12.
This is how the Turin
Shroud cannot have belonged to Jesus - its date is medieval."
